life in a circus

Life of a teacher is like a life in a circus. One must be a multi-faceted because your work is not only concentrated to teaching. 

Sometimes you should be a clown to cheer them up especially when they are down and weary. We need to learn new tricks to get their attention like clowns usually do. You can never have a good discipline unless you have a good start.

Sometimes you should be a spectator to praise their work for them to feel their act is amazing even though it wasn’t good enough. Laugh at it when needed.

Sometimes we have to wear a mask and have a poker face where you hide your emotion. Personal problem must not be reflected to our faces and not be brought in accordance with the work. If not, the show will be much affected. And the result, they will go home disappointed.

We must plan our acts and make it a perfect presentation. Smile’s painted in their faces as they leave. Fulfillment sees though their bones. Knowledge stayed long enough.

We must give the most of us, just like what there are expecting us to do. Anyway, it our business and it meant a lot to us.

 Thus, I must agree that teaching is the noblest profession. 

easier way to study

      While I was walking at the corridor of my university there something caught my attention that was been posted on the bulletin board of the pre-medical society. I got it to share it with you. Its about HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY. I will only give you 8 concentration strategies on how to do it. This might help you make your studies a lot easier. 

                                 EAT FREQUENT SMALL AMOUNT

             Avoid eating a big meal before a study session . Too much food will send your body into a "rest" mode. On the other hand, don't starve yourself either. Frequent small amount of meal are best.

        STUDY WHEN YOU'RE SHARPEST

             Study according to your body-clock. Are you sharpest in the morning or at the evening. Schedule your most difficult materials when you are mentally at your best, and schedule the easier one when you are mentally less difficult.

        DRINK WATER OFTEN

              Drink plenty of water during a study session, especially when you are sluggish. Caffeine may also help you to stay awake, but it can increase your anxiety-use it in moderation.

DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE

     Choose a chair that support your back. It should be comfortable, but not too comfortable. Just like an athletes during a performance, your body should be relaxed so that your energy goes to where it matters-your brain.

TAKE A BREAK EVERY HOUR
     It is important to take a break before you feel tire and lose your concentration completely. Regular break at least one an hour helps you to sustain your concentration. If work is not going to well and you have difficulties in concentrating, you may need a long break and go back to it later.

STRETCH YOUR BREAKS
       Know and respect your concentration span which will vary from hour to hour and from day to day. When you sit for long periods, gravity drains your blood to lower part of your body. When you take a break, take a few deep breath and get more oxygen to your brain. Try walking around and do some light stretching for a few minutes. It will help ease the tension in your body, and circulation.

                                                 CLEAR YOUR DESK OF EVERYTHING YOU DON'T NEED
         Have everything you need on the desk. Put away what you don't need for the study session. Seeing reminders of others assessment or domestic bills may increase your anxiety and distract you.       

                                     STUDY AT THE SAME TIME, SAME PLACE
     Study at the same time and at the same place devoted to study only. This help you to associate the time and place with studying and concentrating. You will find that you get into a habit of studying as soon as you sit down.

sleepless night

         I woke up early this morning. I don’t know why. But I felt dizzy due to lack of sleep. Sometimes I am like this. Maybe because I am suffering from insomnia or I am just thinking of many. 
      This is also sometimes good for me [not the dizziness okay] because I can witness the beauty of the morning. I can see the colors changes, the awakening of birds that sung melodiously and the noise of humans busily doing chores. 
       You can also actually see the rising of the sun. Those things are the proof of God’s love for us. This is also the time for us to meditate and thank Him for a new day given to us. Plan our work and activities for our self and love ones.. Actually 
        I am not an early riser. Sometimes I woke up late in the morning especially during non-working days thus misses those wonderful phenomena.

lazy student

Tgif [thanks God its Friday]… meaning I don’t have to go to school. It’s a day rest for the teacher. But, not me! Actually I still need to go there… not to teach but to study. [F. Y. I.] I am still attending lesson on my masters. To tell you the truth I have an exam tomorrow at my bioethics subject. This is our first examination for this semester. I haven’t read my lesson and yet here I am, typing this story for you…[anyway I like this better than the first] (whisper).  I will study later in the morning. For me it’s better to do it at dawn when you are fully rested and fully charge plus the silence of the surrounding. Presto! You can easily understand it than at night when you are already tire. I bet I am correct.

Hope to get a high grade. 

real shout out

       It was been days before I opened again my Facebook. I am so busy these past few days accomplishing reports and some important documents that our bosses badly needed. Actually, they are rushing us to submit those for our evaluation. The regional supervisors will visit our school to conduct inspection and observation this coming day. 

       While I am browsing it (Facebook) I saw this particular shoutout from Mr. Edwin. He is my officemate and a very good friend (but don’t tell him that…it’s our secret, okay?) Want to know his shoutout was?  Well, according to him we should do all the things we want coz we never know when our time will come….and he was so happy doing those things even though he felt tired. Yes he is absolutely right.

        While I am reading it (shoutout) a thought suddenly came to my mind that I must needed to show (‘coz I am not that showy) my love and affection to others especially to my love ones. I shall never give then heartache. I should always think them in all my actions and all my decision ‘coz a part of me belongs to them. Hugging, smiling, thanking and telling how much we love them are only a simple gesture of love that we must do often. We must give them the best of us, ‘coz no matter what happened at least they’ll be reminded of our mark.

         Thanks to you my friend for reminding me once again. 

i am not an addict

i always convince a friend of mine to visit my blog and told her to leave a comment... also, i added to feel free to comment anything she wants to say... and she just did...but when i looked at it, i was so shocked.... she branded me of an ADDICT to blog.... am i? i guess not.... 

let me share to you how she might said it... since i was new in blogging i am always spelling it out...co'z i really wanted to have a follower just like others... yes i do always said it (that's the truth)...when were eating....chatting.... and even a short conversation at school... is that simple act made me an addict? just like having a new pair of shoes you wanted to show just to justify things but not in the essence of bragging... perhaps...that might leave her no choice just to visit it.... and she just did with a very good comment......THAT I AM ADDICTED TO BLOG..... then do tell me AM I....?
